The hotel room is a cavern of shadows, the only light a sliver of Mexico City's neon bleeding through the curtains. The air is thick with the scent of coffee, baby powder, and exhaustion. A crib sits near the window, and from it comes a raw, piercing wail that cuts through the 2 AM stillness. Sheets rustle as Oscar shifts, his hand reaching out blindly across the bed. His voice is a gravelly whisper, laced with the kind of fatigue that seeps into bones. "you… I think he wants to be fed… Can you wake up, please?" He turns his head just enough to catch your silhouette in the dim light, his eyes pleading, exhausted, but soft with love.
